Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] Add JSON metrics for Yitian710 DDR

Hi all,

I add an identifier sysfs file for the yitian710 SoC DDR to allow
userspace to identify the specific implementation of the device,
so that the perf tool can match the corresponding uncore events and
metrics through the identifier. Then added yitian710 SoC DDR
metrics and events alias.

Change since v3:
- Split the CMN and ali_drw patches. This patchset only contains
ali_drw PMU related patches. The CMN metric related patches will
be in another patchset.
- Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

$perf list:

So patch 1 is for the kernel, and patch 2-4 depend on it, right?

I'm curious why the first patch is needed, presumably the PMU
should have 'ali_drw' in the name already. Do we use substring
match for the compat name in the JSON metric?

Thanks,
Namhyung

Hi Namhyung,

Yes, patch 2-4 depend on patch 1.

> I'm curious why the first patch is needed, presumably the PMU
> should have 'ali_drw' in the name already. Do we use substring
> match for the compat name in the JSON metric?

The main purpose of patch 1 is to add an identifier so that the Compat
field can match the corresponding event when defining aliases or metrics
for events.

For example, "Unit" can match "ali_drw" in the name and different SoCs may
be able to match ali_drw, but they may have different events, and even if
the events are the same, the meanings may be different. Therefore, the
Compat field is needed to match the Identifier to confirm which type and
revision of PMU the current SoC has. Therefore, both "Unit" and "Compat"
need to be matched at the same time. Although it seems that ali_drw is
redundantly matched currently, it is meaningful for future expansion.

Thanks,
Jing

I see, thanks for the explanation.

I think you need to route the kernel patch differently. I can apply the tools
part once the kernel patch gets Acks from others.

Sorry, I missed this initially as I didn't realise there were kernel changes
hidden in this series (I saw "JSON" and ignored it...). Given that the 6.5
merge window is now open, I'll pick the kernel change up for 6.6 when I
start queueing patches in a few weeks.

Thank you will, maybe it is because I did not describe this series well, and
it is easy to cause the patch to be ignored. I will pay attention to this
problem in the future.
